Dr Tatiana Rowson

Dr Rowson's research interests are the topics of ageing at work and the experiences of older workers, exploring how life, work and career transitions from midlife impact health and wellbeing, labour force participation and economic activity in later working life. She also studies how individuals make sense of, and respond to, changing circumstances at identity and behavioural levels. Tatiana's work is multidisciplinary, informed by psychology, sociology and social gerontology theories. Her recent projects explore inequalities between groups, cumulative advantages and disadvantages, precarious work conditions, age discrimination (e.g. gendered ageism) and disrupted trajectories (i.e. transitions). She has published in prestigious journals and is on the Work, Employment and Society journal editorial board. Before joining academia, Tatiana worked for 12 years as an organisational psychologist, consulting high profile organisations in the UK, Brazil and the United Arab Emirates at national and international levels and in both public and private sectors. The industries covered included banking and finance, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, media, energy and manufacturing.
